Dull headlights?

If your headlights are a bit dull (not talking about them when switched on), ie The plastic outer covers are foggy to look at. Use good old toothpaste. I kid you not. I squirted a couple of inches of toothpaste on mine and then buffed with a piece of kitchen towel. Once it had dried I washed it off. The difference is unbelievable, looks like new light units.

Thought I'd share.

Think I might give that a try

This is the step-by-step guide I used to restore my polycarbonate headlamps. Worked a treat.

Ok Iv'e just tried COLGATE sensitive multi protection so should this last a bit longer than the cheap toothpaste or will my light go dull just as quick. :laugh:
Yes it did work a good tip well done Allan.

Here are so more tips l found on a web site
1. Mayonnaise: For those of you that hate mayonnaise on your sandwiches, at least here is one new reason to buy the stuff: tar. International Aero, a large aircraft detailing company actually uses a dab of mayonnaise to remove tar. Just apply a very small amount of it on the affected area for about 10 minutes and then rub it off. If that doesn't work, then lighter fluid should do the trick.

2. Baby Wipes: They are not only great for keeping your newborn baby clean, but they are great for your car's dashboard. They are moist so they are more effective than cleaning with a dry cloth and they leave behind an anti-static layer that keeps dust off your dashboard even longer.

3. Nail Polish Remover: How many times have you parked your ride under a tree to only come back a few hours later and your windows are covered in tree sap? If you can't get the tree sap off with soap and water, try nail polish remover. Just make sure that you don't get any of it on your car's paint, as it will also remove the paint as well. If you need to get it off your car's paint try using a soft towel with a little rubbing alcohol.

4. Cooking Spray: Cooking spray is a quick and easy way to keep your food from sticking to cooking pans, but it's also a great way to keep brake dust from sticking to your wheels. Some alloy wheel designs are so intricate that it's a total hassle trying to keep them clean, but a quick spritz of cooking spray on clean wheels will make it even easier to take off that ugly brake dust. Of course be careful to not spray any on the brakes...
